My neighbor and I planted a garden in the spring and the radishes were the first crop ready for pickin. I know what to do with radishes, but I wondered if the greens were edible as well, and guess what, they are! This Radish Greens Pesto dish has quickly become a favorite, fresh and peppery, too bad all our radishes are gone.
Radish Greens Pesto -adapted from Chocolate and Zucchini
Radish greens, a good sized handful, rinsed really well in a salad spinner
1 clove garlic
1 T grated Parmesan
1 T pine nuts
½ to 1 oz. olive oil
S & P
Zest from ½ a lemon
Red pepper flakes
Combine radish greens, garlic, Parmesan, pine nuts and olive oil in a small food processor. Season to taste with S & P.
I love this pesto on cheese ravioli. Top with lemon zest, red pepper flakes and extra Parm. Serves 2.
Enjoy!
